<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Ladies and Gentlemen:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">We have acted as counsel to NTN Buzztime, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), in connection with the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;)
on the date hereof of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the &ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;). The Registration Statement registers 6,000,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s
common stock, $0.005 par value per share (the &ldquo;Shares&rdquo;), which may be issued from time to time pursuant to the NTN
Buzztime, Inc. Amended 2010 Performance Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements
of Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration
Statement, the Company&rsquo;s charter documents, the proceedings taken by the Company with respect to the authorization and adoption
of the Plan, and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as we deem necessary as a basis for
this opinion. With respect to the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or reproduced
copies. We have assumed that (a) shares of common stock currently reserved under the Plan will remain available for the issuance
of the Shares, and (b) neither the Company&rsquo;s charter documents nor any of the proceedings relating to the Plan or any of
the award agreements relating to the Shares, will be rescinded, amended or otherwise modified prior to the issuance of the Shares.
We have obtained a certificate from an officer of the Company as to certain factual matters and, insofar as this opinion is based
on matters of fact, we have relied on such certificate without independent investigation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Based upon such examination and subject to the further provisions
hereof, we are of the opinion that if, as and when the Shares are issued and sold by the Company in accordance with the terms of
the award agreements provided for under the Plan, and payment in full of the consideration therefor is received by the Company,
the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The foregoing opinion is limited to matters governed by the federal
laws of the United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation Law, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware
constitution.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">This letter is given to you solely for use in connection with the
offer and sale of the Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose.
Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise,
as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Shares or the Registration Statement.</P>
