* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
 
: Gambling Chanceries have grown up wherever humans are found. The urge to risk all in the hope of gaining something for nothing is apparently a universal human trait. Even on the stern Colony of [[Gemoni|Gemon]], where all forms of gambling were officially banned, back-room gaming houses flourished throughout the ages. Chanceries range from the luxurious casinos aboard luxury liners like the ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]'', or on the [[Ovions|Ovion]] planet, [[Carillon]] to rough-and-ready Chancery bars on frontier planets like [[Equellus]]. The card game [[Pyramid (TOS)|Pyramid]] is played universally. Its origins are lost in antiquity, but it seems certain that it was played in the days of the [[Lords of Kobol (TOS)|Lords of Kobol]] themselves. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|pages=37}}</ref>
