CARLSBAD, Calif., May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. (AMEX:NTN), a leading developer and distributor of interactive entertainment and technology, announced today that after a successful period of testing, Greene King PLC, the third largest managed pub company in the UK, has committed to increasing the number of locations offering the Buzztime iTV Network to nineteen of its UK pubs. The decision follows a three-month period of testing the new Buzztime Network in two Greene King pubs, during which time Buzztime has proven to be a substantial value proposition to the initial Greene King sites. The increase in sites offering the Buzztime iTV Network will enable Greene King to evaluate the impact on a wider scale. Locations joining the network are from Greene King's Hungry Horse brand, Real Pubs North, Town Locals and Real Pubs South.

Kris Gumbrell, Greene King's Operations Manager for Real Pubs Division, said "We are very pleased with the performance of the Buzztime offering thus far, and excited about the potential it can bring to our company in terms of prompting guests to stay long, spend more and return more frequently."

"We are pleased to be working with such a substantial and respected operator as Greene King," said Stanley Kinsey, Chairman and CEO of NTN Buzztime. Chris Hawkins, Buzztime Sales UK Marketing Director, said, "We look forward to working in greater depth to show the additional value that we can offer Greene King, utilizing branded multiplayer games and advertising designed specifically for its pub brands."

The Buzztime iTV Network is a promotional entertainment network located in restaurants, sports bars and pubs that allows customers to play along with interactive games on the television with other patrons within the pub and across the Buzztime Network in live games for fun, notoriety and prizes. Games include trivia quiz shows, sports games, and the new Texas Hold'em and Buzztime Billiards offerings.
