Report: 9M play 'Candy Crush' for 3 or more hours daily

A top executive at the company behind mobile game "Candy Crush Saga" says the game is drawing millions of players who play for hours per day.

Alex Dale, a senior executive at King, said over 9 million people spend three to six hours per day on the puzzle game.

He reportedly said the game does not have an addiction problem.

“Among 270 million players we have between two and three contacts a month from people concerned about having spent too much money or time on the game,” he said. “It is a very, very small number who spend or play at high levels. When we speak with to them they say they are happy with what they are doing.”
