NTN Buzztime Launches New Player Website as the Official Hub for the Buzztime Player Community

Website Will Become Focal Point for Player Profiles, Detailed Game Play Data, Competition Rankings and Player Community Forums

Launch of Website Coincides With Re-brand of Buzztime Network in Restaurants and Sports Bars and Launch of New Corporate Website

LAS VEGAS, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. (AMEX:NTN) announced today, at the International Nightclub & Bar/Beverage Retailer/Beverage & Food Convention and Trade Show, the largest international trade show for the industry, that they have launched a new website where the hundreds of thousands of registered Buzztime Network players can access, post and exchange detailed information about the Buzztime interactive entertainment experience. The new player website is part of a corporate re-branding effort to expand the Buzztime-branded player experience across all interactive platforms including cable TV, satellite TV and mobile phones.

The Buzztime Player website, located at www.buzztime.com, gives Buzztime Network players the ability to:

* Establish a personal player profile for others to see,

* Access detailed game play information and statistics for games, scores
and competitions in a variety of games including Trivia, Texas Hold'em,
QB1(R) Predict the Play(R) Football and Race Day(TM),

* View player rankings and handicaps on a network-wide, location specific
and personal player basis, and

* Participate in player community forums where players can post messages
on a wide variety of Buzztime-related topics such as games, promotions
and other Buzztime platforms.

The Buzztime Network is now operating in over 4,000 restaurants and sports bars in North America and United Kingdom, and seen or played by millions of patrons each month.

"We have a great opportunity to provide detailed game play results and competitive comparisons for our avid player community," said Chuck Mitchell, executive vice president and executive producer, NTN Buzztime, Inc. "After testing this new player website with a core of players over the past several months, we have confirmed that we are able to enhance the game play experience as a result of improved communication forums. This truly extends the Buzztime player experience beyond the actual game."

Buzztime plans to add future features for the website, some of which will be included in a subscription tier, to include:

* Universal player registration and management for Buzztime players across
all Buzztime platforms including cable TV, satellite TV and mobile
phones.

* A suite of multiplayer games, some of which will enable real-time
competition against other Buzztime platforms.

* Cross-platform competition management including joining or creating
private and public competitions so players can compete against the
world, or just their buddies.

The Buzztime brand now replaces the NTN brand throughout the iTV Network including promotions, advertisements, the news and sports ticker, point-of-sale materials, prizes, sale and marketing material as well as other ways in which the company communicates to its players and partners. The company's U.K.-based Network in restaurants and pubs was launched late last year under the Buzztime brand.
