Very interesting. I watched the whole thing, and understood it. This answers many questions I've been pondering in how they make the game. I had no idea they were as developed as they are in machine learning. This is a technical topic and I won't go into detail here, but it leads me to the conclusion that we have indeed been playing bots and indeed training them for King. I've no issue with this, however the stacking of games that is clearly going on is dubious. There is the potential for this to be a great game if not stacked, it will be ruined if it is just a manipulation to get people to spend money playing it.
I'm short of time so I'll keep this brief. The most interesting part was the question asked at around the 18 minute mark. Note how he first misdirects and answers a different question, then admits he cannot reveal the answer. The question was essentially whether there is anything random in the game - i.e. when candies fall down is it random or pre-determined. This is something I had assumed was random, making the game 'fair'. If it's pre-determined, which his non-answer implies this means the games are stacked and any trained bot can make some crazy looking move knowing in a couple of moves special candies will fall from the sky if they do. It also allows for starting positions where you have a zero chance of winning.
I will give some more thought.

I tried playing again to see if they changed anything to be fair and stop rigging the game. Not only have they not stopped rigging it but they are rigging more of it now. The first place player in my bracket is over 900 now. They increase their points by 20-30 for every 1 game that I play. That is not possible to do since the games are on a time limit. Even if they weren't 20 to 30 points per game isn't gonna happen every game. Thy can kiss my Royal Championship A#% if they think they are gonna get me to give them another penny. I added it up and I have spent just over $200 in the last month and a half just on the RC game. Guess ill go spend it on another game that doesn't make me wanna strangle someone. Maybe Angry Birds!!! Ill fit right in!!!
