Buzztime will provide trivia games in nine Atlantic Lottery Coasters locations

CARLSBAD, Calif. (June 7, 2011) – NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE Amex: NTN), a leading social entertainment and integrated marketing platform for bars and restaurants throughout the United States and Canada, announced that the company is providing bar trivia games in nine of Atlantic Lottery’s (AL) Coasters locations in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.


Coasters are gaming entertainment centers in bar settings – offering a superior gaming experience for players.
