The second guess was right. The flippers were rather small, and when you hit
a mushroom (it was not a bumper) in the centerfield, just across the
spinning disc, they closed. Alas, they opened again when you hit one of all
those mushrooms stacked arond the "Release Odin", "Release Wotan" and
"Release All" buttons.
