Abstract: Systems and methods for interactive electronic gaming with collusion detection. A host computer system may initiate an interactive gaming session for an interactive electronic game. Interactions by players may be received by the host computer system via player terminals to control gaming action of an interactive electronic game. Interactive content displayed to the players may be responsively changed according to a state of the game created by gaming action. In response to the gaming action, the interactions received from the player terminals may be evaluated and an occurrence of gaming rule violations may be determined based on a result of the interactions being evaluated. Upon determining an occurrence of a gaming rule violation, the host computer system may initiate actions to bar involved player(s) from participating in the interactive gaming session using respective player terminal(s).
