Abstract: An electronic gaming system has a plurality of tables each having a plurality of electronic player interaction areas (EPIA's) spaced preferably about a table periphery so that a gaming player locates oneself in front of a respective EPIA to play a game. A controller of the system assigns any one of preferably a variety of games to any one table. The player is then free to choose what game he/she desires to play by picking a particular table. When playing of a game is being conducted by the controller at a particular table, the table is considered to be active. When a table is without players and thus a game is not being played, the table is considered to be inactive. The gaming system has a host console that communicates with each EPIA via the controller for managerial control of the plurality of tables. A host interface of the host console enables input by a host to move a game and the respective players from an active table to an inactive table.
