Just flip it good. That's how you play Mueller & Wister's new online holiday game, Pinball Blizzard. After all, what better time than now to get its fabulous flippers flapping and create a jolly festival of lights and sounds. All that as you rack up big game scores.

In fact, the three best single-game scorers will be able to claim a cool gift from our online selection.

Perhaps best of all, every time you chase the Abominable Snowman, that growly scrooge, out of his cave, you earn another entry in our Grand Prize Drawing. And as your entries snowball, you increase your chances of winning.

At the end of the competition, you could be chosen at random in our Grand Prize Drawing and proclaimed the winner. And, if you are, you'll get to select from our array of high-tech prizes.

Prizes

When Pinball Blizzard concludes, the Grand Prize Drawing winner and the top three single-game scorers will have their pick of great prizes. The Grand Prize Drawing winner may select a gift from any prize category. The first-prize winner may also select a gift from any prize category. The second-prize winner may select a gift from any but the first-prize category. The third-prize winner may select one of the gifts in that category. No player can win more than one prize. Mueller & Wister employees and their family members are not eligible to win a prize.

Grand Prize Drawing

Whenever you force the Abominable Snowman from his lair, your name will be entered in the Grand Prize Drawing. In fact, the more you force him out, the more entries you earn, and the better your chances of winning. So it pays to play often! Just remember this. Each time you complete a game, be sure to submit your score and get all the entry credits you deserve.

Scoring

A player receives four pinballs to start a game. Each bumper, target, or obstacle is worth a specific number of points. (See Point Values below.)

Point Values

Snowball — 100 points
Gift* — 125 points
Rocks — 1 point
Rear Cave Rocks — 50 point
Tree — 250 points
Abominable Snowman's Cave (front entrance) — 75 points
Choir — 250 points
Store Door — 100 points
Store — Entry into store earns chance at an extra pinball, a pinball save, or 2,500 points
Penguin — 250 points
Walrus — 250 points
Small Igloo — 500 points
Large Igloo Door — 100 points
Large Igloo Entry — 2,500 points
Abominable Snowman (when hit causes him to emerge from cave) — 5,000 points
Abominable Snowman (every 5th time he emerges from his cave in a given game) — 10,000 points
Abominable Snowman — 500 points (while outside cave)

*When you've cleared all the gifts, each hit on a bumper or target will double your score. After each subsequent clearing of gifts (up to five times), your score will be tripled, quadrupled, and quintupled accordingly. Note this score increase occurs until you lose your ball.

Account Page

By submitting all your scores, you'll be assured that your best single-game score is automatically recorded on your Account Page. If your skill is really great, the chances are your name and score will also appear in the list of Top Twenty leaders on the Pinball Blizzard Home Page.

Also on your Account Page is the latest total number of times you have chased the Abominable Snowman out of his cave. Each time you do, your name is entered in our Grand Prize Drawing. For example, 20 times translates into 20 entries — and increased opportunities to win the Grand Prize Drawing.

Of course, you can have flipperfuls of fun playing Pinball Wizard without getting involved in the competition for prizes. But to be eligible for prizes, you must record your game results by submitting them at our site. So it pays to keep your computer connected to the Internet at all times!
