How the game works and what to check
Start with the documented Fat Fortunes / Puffy Penguin feature
Fat Fortunes / Puffy Penguin uses fish that remain on the reel area and build toward the Puffy Penguin feature, giving the machine an observable progress left by a previous player.
Check that the game matches this guide. Read the help screen, note the bet and denomination, and check what stays on the screen after each spin. A different version may have different rules.

Fat Fortunes / Puffy Penguin uses fish that remain on the reel area and build toward the Puffy Penguin feature, giving the machine an observable progress left by a previous player.
The number and location of persistent fish currently carried on the playfield.
Do not assume that more fish always means the same amount of value. Position, trigger rules, bet and the actual bonus structure matter.
Count the fish, note their reel positions and verify whether any other feature indicators are active.
How the fish state works
Fish can remain on the playfield across spins and player sessions. Reaching the required feature condition activates the penguin-based bonus sequence.
Why the progress left by a previous player matters
A screen with multiple fish already present is a different starting point from an empty state because previous play created part of the bonus setup.
On Fat Fortunes / Puffy Penguin, machine setup, denomination, bet required for the feature and which game or bet the progress belongs to can change the conclusion. Anything not verified belongs in the uncertainty column.
Machine checks
Complete visible fish/scatter state, title variant, qualifying event, bet and reset. Preserve the starting state and immediate post-award state whenever possible.
Public-source note: no durable Light Wonder rules page was linked for this review. The machine help screen therefore remains the rules reference.
