1. A system for interactive electronic gaming, the system comprising:
a communications interface; and
a host computer operably coupled to the communications interface, and including one or more processors configured to:
initiate an interactive gaming session for an interactive electronic game;
cause action from the interactive electronic game to be displayed, via the communications interface, on:
a display device of a first player terminal operable by a first player; and
at least one other display device of at least a second player terminal operable by at least one other player;
monitor, via the communications interface:
a player interaction area of the first player terminal for interactions from the first player to control gaming action of the interactive electronic game; and
a player interaction area of the at least a second player terminal for interactions from the at least one other player to control gaming action of the interactive electronic game;
cause, via the communications interface and during the interactive game, interactive content displayed in the player interaction areas of the first, and the at least a second, player terminals to be changed based on a state of the interactive electronic game created by the gaming action;
in response to the gaming action:
evaluate the interactions received via the player interaction areas of the first, and the at least a second, player terminals in view of one or more gaming rules for the interactive gaming session;
determine an occurrence of a violation of the one or more gaming rules by the one or both of the first player and the at least one other player based on a result of the interactions being evaluated; and
in response to the occurrence of the violation being determined,
cause, via the communications interface, one or both of the first player and the at least one other player to be barred from participating in the interactive gaming session using a respective player terminal of at least one of the first, and the at least a second, player terminals.
