Buzztime Secures a Follow-on Contract for $3 Million to Deliver Custom Hardware and Software Solutions to Leading Correctional Facility Technology Provider

CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE American: NTN), signed a follow-on contract for over $3 million with one of the nation's leading providers of technology, automation, and communications for correctional facilities to deliver a customized end-to-end hardware and software solution.

"This $3 million deal is a strong vote of confidence by our repeat customer, and proof that Buzztime's hardware and software solutions deliver tremendous value – enabling companies to focus on their core business. We're leveraging our manufacturing capacity and form factor flexibility to penetrate additional vertical markets and uncover new revenue-generating opportunities," said Ram Krishnan, Buzztime CEO

In 2018, the correctional facilities provider placed its initial order for over $1 million of Buzztime tablets to test their performance in the prison environment. Buzztime designed a hardware and entertainment solution that empowered our partner's software to provide inmates access to email, pay-to-play arcade games, and video visitation when using Buzztime's highly secure, durable tablets. The system delivered reliable, ongoing performance – withstanding constant use by inmates – resulting in the customer more than doubling the quantity of its first order in this latest $3 million contract.

"Buzztime is unique in the marketplace in that we fully control the form factor of our tablets and charging systems. This empowers us to custom-engineer hardware and software solutions that overcome challenges presented by any vertical market. Our proven track record combined with a robust manufacturing and support infrastructure enable us to deliver these solutions at scale – and at a competitively priced rate," concluded Krishnan.

Buzztime manufactures durable customer-facing tablets and technology systems for a wide range of vertical markets: from restaurants to senior living communities to point-of-sale. This recent partnership within the corrections and rehabilitation facilities industry underscores the growing demand for custom-built hardware and software solutions – which is a key revenue opportunity for Buzztime. In addition, the company is also licensing Buzztime games which can be played on the tablets, highlighting an additional revenue stream.
