Nip It, with the Gator ball. Best of all, you collect it, release the ball, and the bonus remains, and if you can keep locking the Gator ball, you can run up some scores. Kind of makes up for no special on the game.

Quoted from AvidListener:Abra Ca Dabra
ACD is interesting because while there is a bonus, it doesn't count down and never resets like most on the drain.
Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:There are many Bally EMs in the silver age with this feature prior to the 1970s. Nip-It does not purely qualify as the playfield bonus is collected at ball drain, as it is added to lighted scoring. One of the earlier games is Capersville (1966), but many bonuses are collectable early such as Dixieland or Dogies (both 1968) or Joust (1969). Certain playfield ruleset conditions MUST be met. I would have to go through the entire list to find them all. I only specialize in Bally games, not Gottlieb or WMS, so there are certainly others.
There is no such animal as a "solid state EM", except in rare cases where you have a pure prototype conversion. It might look or play like an EM or even have components, but if a game operates under the electrical logic of an EM, it is an EM, a game cannot be classified as a SS. The same goes for a SS with ICs but still might have things like rotation score reels controlled by solenoids (or even motors), this is still a SS. This is a separate topic in itself and gets into some technicalities.
A good example would be Fabulous Fantasies (Herb Silvers) King of Diamonds Gottlieb remake. This is a SS, not an EM.
Another would be Stern WNBJM (not Whizbang, as the original was a retheme EM) as this is a "conversion" but also SS.
Don't understand what you're saying here regarding Nip It, because the bonus is collected at drain, or on the release of the Gator ball, and better yet, releasing the Gator ball scores the bonus but does not reset it. If you can keep locking the ball up you can really score some points.
