A player in Brazil won $500,000 from a Candy Crush All Stars tournament hosted by King. The win concludes the event after weeks of competition among mobile gamers.
A mobile gamer claimed a massive cash prize after winning the final stage of a regional tournament hosted by King.
King publishes Candy Crush Saga for mobile devices running iOS or Android. In the All Stars mode, players must use strategy to complete level goals using a restricted number of moves.
The prize pool originated from tournament entry fees and sponsored rewards. Contestants progressed through regional qualifying rounds to reach a final stage where a single winner secured the top prize.
The game uses internal score submissions to maintain player rankings on the leaderboards. Competitors required steady high scores over several rounds to reach the finals, an event accessible only via mobile apps.
The win highlights King's ongoing practice of awarding significant prizes in its casual game tournaments. While King has distributed similar large prizes in past regional events, it typically keeps specific winner information private until now.
Insider Gaming reported that the Brazilian participant secured the prize after winning the final match. The report confirmed the payout amount and noted that King verified the result through internal records.
