A ball-grabbing device in the upper right playfield, called a 'Balligator', is activated by a 'Gator' button, located next to the right flipper button, to pull the ball into a special high-scoring lane. As the flyer illustrates, the game was initially produced using a molded alligator to jump out from under the swamp reeds to capture a nearby ball. However, the plastic alligator kept breaking on location, so this design was changed early in production to instead use a bare metal bar to grab the ball, while the swamp reeds lane plastic was redesigned to show the alligator. Only a minority of games produced have the original Balligator design.
- ipdb.notes
- 'Nip-It' was the last electro-mechanical game to feature zipper flippers. Bally used it once more, in a solid-state game, in Bally's 1981 'Medusa'.
