It is far, far more than that. King.com just filed an IPO, they made 1.88 BILLION dollars in 2013, with vast majority coming from Candy Crush. Candy Crush is generating 78% of King’s revenue, that means the game pulled in about $ 1.46 billion last year, or around 4 million dollars each and every day. Candy Crush alone has 93 million daily players, and 408 million active players each month -easily the most popular game in the world. They made 564 million profit. Let's see if they can keep it up on 2014.
So yes, they are not doing too badly. You can check all the numbers here yourself:
The actual papers they filed for the IPO are here, you can see all the money, numbers of players etc yourself:
