[2-1 d-4. Characteristics of Production Operation Unit]
In the effect operation unit 220 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 32, the lower end of the damper 222 attached to the damper attachment recess 240c of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B in the assembled state is from the lower surface of the lower case 240 Also, since it protrudes downward, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the accommodation recess 231a of the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A and the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B. Further, the tip surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the four horizontal support pins 231b of the unit case 231 coincide with the bottom surface of the counterbore of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243, and the touch unit 220B is moved upward relative to the horizontal support pins 231b. The movement is regulated by a flat washer on the head of the screw 227 screwed into the upper end of the lateral support pin 231b. The tapered portion 231i formed on the upper end side of the horizontal support pin 231b and the tapered portion 243d formed on the lower end side of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243 are separated from each other.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 220, as shown in FIG. 33, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 is slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the accommodation recess 231a on the side of the horizontal support pin 231b. It projects upward. Further, since a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 and the lower A gap is also formed between the lower surface of the case 240 and the lower surface of the case 240. A gap is also formed between the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231 d of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240. That is, the touch unit 220B is attached to the mounting base unit 220A with the lower surface floating in the air by the dampers 222 inserted into the lateral support pins 231b on the left and right sides.

  Furthermore, the rendering operation unit 220 tapers downward in the unit case 231 to which the touch unit 220B is attached from the upper side in the pyramidal cylindrical tubular receiving portion 230c that narrows downward in the mounting base 230 of the mounting base unit 220A. The lower end of the whole pyramidal receiving projection 231e is inserted. A slight gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e. Thus, in the normal state, only the outer periphery of the unit case 231 is attached to the mounting base 230 in a state where the inside of the unit case 231 (the center side of the accommodation recess 231a) floats in the air.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21 etc., in the rendering operation unit 220, the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237 is linear (along the rear side close to the game area 5a in the touch unit 220B). Striped). The length of the upper end of the linear light emitting part 237b is about 2/3 of the length of the rear side of the touch unit 220B. An upper rear decoration member 236 is disposed on the rear side of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b exposed along the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Further, on the right side in a front view of the upper plate rear decoration member 236, an upper plate ball withdrawal button 239 is disposed. Furthermore, the button unit 220C is disposed on the left side of the touch unit 220B in a front view.

  The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player according to the gaming state which is changed by hitting the game ball into the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper tray liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, an image (effect image) can be presented to the player through the transparent touch panel 246 and enjoyed.

  An image imitating the operation button is displayed as the image displayed on the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244, and the detection of the touch by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246 can be accepted to allow the player to receive the image. The operation button can be operated, and the effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper-dish liquid crystal display device 244 at the time of presentation using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation button, and various images can be displayed.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the plurality of dampers 222 in a floating state from the unit case 231, the touch unit 220B is operated by operating the vibration device 242 according to the game state. It can be vibrated. In the effect using the touch panel 246, the vibration of the touch panel 246 (the touch unit 220B) is vibrated by the vibration generator 242 so that the finger of the player who is in contact with the touch panel 246 vibrates the touch panel 246. Even if the player operates the image operation button to the player, the player can be surprised as though the user operates the operation button having a substantial effect, and can be surprised by the touch panel 246 and the effect by the vibration. Can be entertained to the player to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, since the effect operation unit 220 includes the button unit 220C on the left side of the touch unit 220B in a front view, the player is allowed to press the upper plate effect button 257 in accordance with the game state. You can enjoy the operation. More specifically, the image operation button on the touch panel 246 is a touch only on the touch panel 246, and there is a dislike that it lacks the feeling of operation compared to the actual operation button. Therefore, it is possible to comfortably enjoy the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 without giving a sense of discomfort to the operation of the upper plate effect button 257, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game .

  Since this effect operation unit 220 is disposed at the portion where the upper plate 201 is provided in the plate unit 200 bulging forward, the game is performed even during the effect other than using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a risk that the user may hit the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a floating state from the lower unit case 231, even if the touch unit 220B is struck from above, the elasticity of the damper 222 The force can absorb the impact to some extent. More specifically, when an impact (load) is applied from above due to the touch unit 220B being hit or pressed, etc., the left and right horizontal support pins 231b are transmitted to the inserted damper 222, and the touch unit 220B is lowered. While the damper 222 is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

  Then, when the touch unit 220B is further lowered by an impact, the lower surface of the lower case 240 abuts on the upper end of the damper 222 in which the front support pin 231c is inserted, and is supported by the front support pin 231c as the touch unit 220B is lowered. The damper 222 being compressed is compressed downward. Thus, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c in addition to the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b.

  When the touch unit 220B is further lowered by an impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B abuts on the left and right bottom surfaces of the accommodation recess 231a in the unit case 231 and the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d. As a result, the impact from the touch unit 220B directly acts on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220B without the intervention of the plurality of dampers 222.

  Furthermore, when the touch unit 220B is lowered, the load from the central support protrusion 231d causes the bottom surface of the accommodation recess 231a of the unit case 231 to bend so that the center thereof moves downward. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the accommodation recess 231a. When the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is bent, the pair of receiving protrusions 231e which project downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is lowered. Then, when the receiving protrusion 231e is further lowered by an impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e contacts the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and the touch unit 220B An impact is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

  The outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are formed in the shape of a pyramid which is respectively narrowed downward, so from the receiving protrusion 231e to the cylindrical receiving portion 230c (mounting base 230 side) The load to be transmitted is distributed and transmitted in the direction along the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230 a of the mounting base 230 and in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. As described above, by the number of layers of structures that absorb the impact applied to the touch unit 220B before the impact applied to the touch unit 220B is transmitted to the mounting base 230, the impact applied to the touch unit 220B is sufficiently absorbed. Thus, the touch unit 220B, the unit case 231, the mounting base 230, and the like can be less likely to be damaged by the impact.

  In addition, the rendering operation unit 220 is a linear light emitting portion of the linear light emitting lens member 237 extending along the rear peripheral edge of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral LED 235b of the upper dish rear decorative substrate 235 according to the gaming state The top end of 237 b can emit light linearly. Thereby, the interest of the player can be attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the image displayed on the upper-dish liquid crystal display device 244 in the touch unit 220B, the touch effect using the touch panel 246, etc. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, according to the game state, the decoration light up decoration member 236 which is arranged on the rear side of the touch panel 220B (rear side than the linear light emitting portion 237b) by the decoration LED 235a of the decoration back light board 235 be able to. By making the upper back decoration member 236 emit light and decoration, as with the light emission of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237, the player's interest is attracted to the rendering operation unit 220 such as the touch unit 220B. It is possible to enjoy the effects presented by the effect operation unit 220 and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, the touch unit 220B including the upper dish liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244 is covered by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A. And a waterproof seal 248 is attached to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B. As a result, even if water (water droplets) condensed on the surface of the upper plate main body 212 or the game ball by touching the outside air in the upper plate 201 flows downward (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262) of the upper plate 201. Thus, it is possible to prevent the dew condensation water from intruding into the touch unit 220B, and to prevent a malfunction from occurring in the touch unit 220B.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 33, since the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 for emitting and decorating the upper plate rear decoration member 236 and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is disposed at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201, It is possible to prevent a problem such as short circuit or corrosion from occurring in the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 without being exposed to the water droplets condensed by the upper plate 201.

Is pressed against the upper moving end, the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move while operating the touch panel 246, and the touch panel 246 can be easily operated properly. In addition, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, it can make the player think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B thought to not move is excited according to the gaming state. By vibrating by the device 242, the player can be surprised, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the plurality of vibration exciters 242 which are separated from each other, for example, by driving the vibration exciter 242 at a position close to the portion operated by the player in the touch panel 246 Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the touch panel 246 operates a position different from the position to be operated by the player, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is notified that the operation is wrong. As a result, the player can be made to perform the correct operation, and the enjoyment of the operation using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since a plurality of vibration exciters 242 which are separated from each other are provided, the resonance phenomenon is generated at an arbitrary position of the touch panel 246 by appropriately controlling the frequency and intensity of the vibration of each vibration exciter 242 and the like. Can. Therefore, by controlling each excitation device 242 so that the resonance phenomenon occurs at an arbitrary position operated by the player, it is possible to impart a further operational feeling or greatly surprise the player. It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, when the touch unit 220B is hit or pressed from the upper side and an impact or load acts on the touch unit 220B, both left and right sides of the touch unit 220B are attached to the unit case 231 with the damper 222 interposed therebetween. Therefore, it is possible to absorb (attenuate) an impact or the like from the upper side to some extent and transmit it to the unit case 231 side by the bending of the damper 222 and the touch unit 220B. Further, on the unit case 231 side, the outer edge of the unit case 231 is attached to the lower mounting base 230, so that an impact or load from the touch unit 220 B side via the unit case 231 can be applied to the mounting base 230. It can be distributed widely and transmitted. At this time, of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c into which the receiving protrusion 231e is inserted at the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e protruding downward from the lower surface of the unit case 231 and the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 Since a gap is formed between the inner circumferential wall and the inner peripheral wall, the receiving protrusion 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c abut each other after the unit case 231 is bent downward by an impact or a load from the touch unit 220B. As a result, an impact or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the deflection or the like of the unit case 231 transmits the impact or the like to the mounting base 230 in a state where the impact or the like is further attenuated. Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the receiving projection 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c abut, the receiving projection 231e (unit case 231) impact and load from the side of the mounting base 230 are transmitted in an oblique direction with respect to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, along a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 As a result, the force in the direction (downward) perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting base 230 to be bent is reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit or pressed from the upper side, the shocks and the like can be effectively attenuated by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231, and the mounting base 230, and the touch unit 220B or Damage to the mounting base unit 220A can be suppressed.

Further, in the state where the center role 2500 is assembled on the game board 5, the chance outlet 2507 is located immediately above the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100. As a result, when the gaming ball is released from the chance outlet 2507, it is accepted by the first starting opening 2002 with extremely high probability.

  In addition, the center character 2500 extends vertically along the right side in the front view in the front projection 2501 and communicates with the guide passage 2510 through which game balls can flow from the upper end side and the lower end of the guide passage 2510. A game medium is detected that is a predetermined area where the game ball can be distributed and the lower end is opened downward and the game medium which is disposed near the upper end in the guide passage 2510 and is circulated in the guide passage 2510 And a possible approach detection sensor 2530. The center product 2500 is provided with the gate sensor 2005 in the expansion space 2520 (see FIGS. 50 and 51).

  As shown in FIG. 51 and the like, the guide passage 2510 of the center character 2500 has a first passage portion 2511 whose upper end is open on the outer peripheral upper surface of the front projecting portion 2501 and which meanders to the left and right; The second passage 2512 is in communication with the upper end of the expansion space 2520 while the lower end and the upper end are in communication, and the front end and the rear end of the first passage 2511 and the second passage 2512 A pair of flat-shaped wall bodies 2513 which are separated from each other by a space S1 which forms a game ball and can circulate only one game ball, and a pair of wall bodies 2513 are connected and the game ball can circulate A plate-like passage wall 2514 forming the first passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512, and a distance S2 between the front and back of the opposing surfaces of the pair of wall members 2513 is greater than the outer diameter of the gaming ball Also becomes smaller And Uniotto each of the plurality of projections which are arrayed alternately to the flow direction of the game ball protrudes 2515, and a.

  Further, the guiding passage 2510 has a plurality of projections 2516 projecting downward from the ceiling of the first passage 2511 and a front and rear in the middle of the second passage 2512 in the front wall 2513 of the pair of walls 2513. A notch 2517 which penetrates and through which the game ball can pass, and a bulge 2518 which is bulging forward at the same distance as the projection 2515 at a portion facing the notch in the rear wall 2513; Is equipped.

  The entry detection sensor 2530 is disposed above the center in the first passage 2511. In the state where the center role 2500 is assembled on the game board 5, the upper end side of the first passage 2511 (guide passage 2510) opens directly under the stopper 1006 forming a part of the outer periphery of the game area 5a. ing. As a result, all the game balls driven into the upper part on the right side than the center of the center character 2500 in the game area 5 a enter the induction passage 2510.

  The second passage 2512 extends up and down along the outer periphery of the game area 5a (the right rail 1005 of the front component 1000) with the center product 2500 attached to the game board 5. Further, in the second passage portion 2512, a portion (right end in front view) along the right rail 1005 of the front constituent member 1000 is opened to the right. Further, the second passage portion 2512 is opened downward after the lower portion is bent leftward. The distance S1 between the pair of wall bodies 2513 is 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the technical ball. In addition, the distance S2 between the front and the back of the tips of the protrusions 2515 respectively projecting from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. ing.

  The expansion space 2520 of the center character 2500 extends 3.5 to 5 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball to the left and right, and immediately below the lower end opening of the guiding passage 2510 (second passage portion 2512), the gaming ball The gate sensor 2005 is provided at a position slightly apart from the same distance as the outer diameter of the. As a result, when the gaming ball enters the expansion space 2520 through the guiding passage 2510, it passes through the gate sensor 2005 with a very high probability.

  In addition, the expansion space 2520 is divided into three passages of a left passage 2521, a middle passage 2522, and a right passage 2523, which are arranged on the left and right below the portion where the gate sensor 2005 is provided. Thus, the gaming ball entering the expansion space 2520 from the guiding passage 2510 is discharged downward through the left passage 2521 when passing the left side of the gate sensor 2005 and passes through the middle passage 2522 when passing through the gate sensor 2005. It is emitted downward, and when passing the right side of the gate sensor 2005, it is emitted downward through the right passage 2523. When the center product 2500 is assembled to the game board 5, the lower end of the middle passage 2522 of the expansion space 2520 is located directly above the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300. As a result, when the gaming ball having entered the expansion space 2520 passes the gate sensor 2005, it enters the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 with a very high probability and is sent onto the second starting opening 2003.

  The guide passage 2510 of the center character 2500 has a smaller distance between the tips of the protrusions 2515 alternately protruding from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 than the outer diameter of the gaming ball. Therefore, the gaming ball can not move straight between the tips of the facing projections 2515, and the gaming balls move so as to go around each projection 2515, and the pair of wall bodies 2513 The game balls can be distributed in a zigzag manner in the front and back direction which is separated.

And a second gear 3109 b.

  The fall cam 3113 is formed in a substantially semi-circular shape with a plurality of arcs having different curvatures and a flat plate shape as a whole, and the drop effect motor 3112 rotates near one end of a portion extending as a chord A shaft portion 3113a to which the shaft is fixed is formed. Further, the falling cam 3113 is provided with a detection piece 3113 b which protrudes in a flat plate shape forward from the front surface and is detected by the cam detection sensor 3117.

  In the state in which the drop rendering unit 3100 is assembled, the center of the shaft portion 3113a of the drop cam 3113 is located on the left side of the bulging portion 3105c of the slider 3105 in a front view. Then, on the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113, the distance from the center of the shaft 3113a from the center of the shaft 3113a to the left end of the bulging portion 3105c (cam contact surface 3105d) is the closest from the shaft 3113a. The distance from the center of the shaft 3113a at a position farthest from the shaft 3113a to the left from the center of the shaft 3113a to the left of the right end of the cam contact surface 3105d . Thus, the substantially semicircular portion of the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113 can be brought into contact with the cam contact surface 3105 d of the slider 3105.

  Further, in the state in which the drop effect unit 3100 is assembled, the fall cam 3113 is in a state in which the detection piece 3113 b is inserted into the rotation restriction groove 3102 b of the base cover 3102. As a result, the detection piece 3113b abuts on the circumferential end of the rotation restricting groove 3102b extending in an arc shape by the rotation of the fall cam 3113, whereby the rotation range of the fall cam 3113 is restricted.

  In the fall effect unit 3100 of this embodiment, the drop decoration body 3106 attached to the right end side of the slider 3105 (slider main body 3105 a) is located substantially above the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in front view in a normal state. The upper decoration of the upper rendering unit 3200 is inserted between the base 3106 a of the falling decoration 3106 and the claw 3106 c. Therefore, only the three claws 3106c of the falling decorative body 3106 are visible from the front side (player side) (see FIG. 47 and the like).

  In this normal state, as shown in FIG. 55 (a), the slider 3105 is located near the upper ends of the first shaft 3103 and the second shaft 3104, and the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 on the cam contact surface 3105d. Is in contact. In addition, the rack member 3108 is in the most lowered state. In the normal state, the detection piece 3105 e of the slider 3105, the detection piece 3108 c of the rack member 3108, and the detection piece 3113 b of the falling cam 3113 are used as the slider detection sensor 3115, the rack detection sensor 3116, and the cam detection sensor 3117 respectively. It has been detected.

  More specifically, in the normal state, the falling cam 3113 is in a state in which the detection piece 3113 b is positioned immediately above the shaft 3113 a and a portion extending as a chord on the outer peripheral surface extends obliquely to the upper right. Of the outer peripheral surface, the portion most distant from the center of the shaft portion 3113a is in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105. In the slider 3105, the cam contact surface 3105d is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 from the upper side by its own weight. Downward movement of the slider 3105 is restricted by contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113.

  From this normal state, when the falling effect motor 3112 is driven to turn the falling cam 3113 clockwise in a front view, a portion in contact with the cam contact surface 3105 d of the slider 3105 on the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 is It will move. Then, as the falling cam 3113 rotates clockwise, the distance from the rotation center of the falling cam 3113 (the center of the shaft portion 3113a) to the portion in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d becomes shorter, and that portion The slider 3105 slides downward via the cam contact surface 3105 d in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 (see FIG. 55B).

  Then, when the fall cam 3113 is further rotated clockwise, the detection piece 3113 b of the fall cam 3133 abuts on the right end of the rotation restricting groove 3102 b of the base cover 3102 and falls further in the clockwise direction. The rotation of the cam 3113 is restricted. Even in this state, since the cam contact surface 3105 d of the slider 3105 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113, the slider 3105 does not slide (drop) further downward.

  In this fall effect unit 3100, the fall cam 3113 is normally rotated (position in FIG. 55 (a)) and rotated clockwise in a front view (FIG. 55 (b)) according to the game state. The falling decorative body 3106 can be vertically oscillated (swinged) through the slider 3105 by reciprocally rotating between the positions (1) and (2).

  On the other hand, when the falling effect motor 3112 is driven to rotate the falling cam 3113 counterclockwise in a front view from the normal state, the outer circumferential surface of the falling cam 3113 contacts the cam contact surface 3105 d of the slider 3105. The location where the contact is made moves to the left end side of the cam contact surface 3105 d. Then, when the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 moves to the left side of the left end of the cam contact surface 3105 d, the restriction of the downward slide of the slider 3105 is released, and the slider 3105 falls with its falling weight with its own weight. (See FIG. 56 (c)).

  The slider 3105 and the falling decorative body 3106 that have fallen along the first shaft 3103 and the second shaft 3104 from the normal state are more than this because the stopper block 3105 f of the slider 3105 abuts on the stopper portion 3102 a of the base cover 3102 Is prevented from falling, and the falling stops (see FIG. 56 (c)).

  When the falling decorative body 3106 is dropped, the falling decorative body 3106 is positioned at the center of the front surface of the central liquid crystal display 1500 from the position of the upper front of the central liquid crystal display 1500, and the entire falling decorative body 3106 is Is visible from the player side (see FIG. 57).

  When the fall decoration body 3106 (slider 3105) is returned to the normal state from the dropped state, the fall recovery motor 3111 is driven to raise the rack member 3108. The rack member 3108 is mounted on the lower side of the slider 3105 so as to be movable up and down with respect to the first shaft 3103. Therefore, when the rack member 3108 ascends, the upper surface thereof abuts on the lower surface of the slider 3105. When the rack member 3108 is further raised by the drive of the fall / return motor 3111 in a state where the upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the slider 3105, the slider 3105 (drop decoration 3106) is raised together with the rack member 3108 (FIG. see d)).

  Thereafter, when the detection piece 3105 e of the slider 3105 rising with the rack member 3108 is detected by the slider detection sensor 3115, the drive of the drop return motor 3111 is stopped and the raising of the rack member 3108 (slider 3105) is stopped. When the falling cam 3113 is rotated clockwise in a front view by the drive of the falling effect motor 3112 and the detection piece 3113 b of the falling cam 3113 is detected by the cam detection sensor 3117, the driving of the falling effect motor 3112 is stopped and the falling cam The 3113 stops at the normal position.

  Then, the drop return motor 3111 is driven in the reverse direction to lower the rack member 3108. As the rack member 3108 descends, the slider 3105 (falling decorative body 3106) descends together with the rack member 3108, and the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 abuts on the outer circumferential surface of the falling cam 3113 and the slider 3105 descends. Stop. Thereafter, only the rack member 3108 is lowered, and when the rack member 3108 is lowered to the position of the normal state, the driving of the drop effect motor 3111 is stopped. This restores the normal state.

  In addition, it is desirable that at least one of the lower surface of the stopper block 3105 f of the slider 3105 and the upper surface of the stopper portion 3102 a of the base cover 3102 be provided with an impact absorbing member made of a polymer elastic body. Thereby, the impact when the slider 3105 (falling decorative body 3106) is dropped can be alleviated, and the falling effect unit 3100 can be made less likely to be broken.

  The fall effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment swings the fall decoration 3106 up and down by reciprocating the fall cam 3113 in the clockwise direction from the normal state according to the game state. Can. As a result, when the falling decorative body 3106 shakes as pre-falling of the falling decorative body 3106, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the falling decorative body 3106 to fall. Then, by causing the fall cam 3113 to rotate counterclockwise in a front view and causing the fall decoration body 3106 to freely fall, it is possible to give the player an impact stronger than the conventional downward effect of the up and down decoration body. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest by surpriseing the player.

  In addition, since the falling decoration 3106 can be swung up and down by the reciprocating rotation of the falling cam 3113 before the falling decoration 3106 is dropped, compared with the case where the falling decoration 3106 is dropped suddenly, Before the falling decoration 3106 falls, the player's interest can be drawn to the falling decoration 3106 to draw attention, and the falling decoration 3106 can be made to surely appear to start falling. It can be entertained to suppress the decline in interest.

  The upper decorative body 3210 of the upper effect unit 3200 has substantially the same left and right length as the left and right length of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In the normal state, the upper decoration 3210 is located between the base 3106 a of the rising falling decoration 3106 and the claw 3106 c. Therefore, when the falling decorative body 3106 is in a normal state (in a state where it is not falling), the downward rotation is blocked by the falling decorative body 3106 (see FIG. 47 and the like).

  The upper effect unit 3200 moves the left end side to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 by rotating it counterclockwise centering on the right end side by the upper effect drive unit in a state where the falling decoration 3106 is dropped. As a whole, the left side is low and oblique (see FIG. 58). By rotating the upper effect unit 3200 in accordance with the falling of the falling decorative body 3106, it is possible to show the player such a movable effect as it has been torn and dropped by the claws of the falling decorative body 3106.

Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill (not shown) rotated by the contact of the game ball is provided at a suitable position.

  When the game ball driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the left side in a front view than the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center character 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) While the game ball abuts on the left side of the center character 2500. When the gaming ball flowing down the left side of the center character 2500 enters the warp inlet 2502 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center character 2500, the center ball 2500 passes through the warp passage 2503. The warp outlet 2504 opened in the frame supplies the left end of the stage 2505.

  The game balls supplied to the stage 2505 of the center character 2500 roll back and forth on the stage 2505 and are discharged forward from the discharge parts 2505 a formed on both sides in the left-right direction center The lower area of the stage 2505 in the game area 5a flows down the upper area of the starting opening unit 2100. Thereby, there is a possibility that the game ball may be received in the general winning opening 2001 or the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100.

  When the gaming ball rolling on the stage 2505 enters a chance entrance 2506 opened to the rear side of the center in the left-right direction on the stage 2505, the game is started from the chance exit 2507 opened immediately above the first start opening 2002 It is released into the region 5a and is received with high probability into the first starting port 2002. When a game ball is received in the first start opening 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 830 through the main control board and the payout control board.

  If the game balls released from the stage 2506 into the game area 5a flow downward to either the left or right side of the first start opening 2002 without being received by the first start opening 2002, they are disposed on the left or right downstream There is a possibility that it can be accepted in the general winning opening 2001. Then, when the game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 830 through the main control board and the payout control board.

  By the way, when the gaming ball which has flowed down to the left side of the center character 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2502, the gaming balls are under the center character 2500 by the plurality of obstacle nails and the rolling shelf 2201 of the side unit 2200. There is a possibility of being guided toward the center in the left-right direction in the area 5a and being accepted by the general winning a prize port 2001, the first start port 2002, and the like arranged on the downstream side.

  On the other hand, the game ball driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center character 2500 (driven) And enters the guide passage 2510 and is discharged into the expansion space 2520 through the first passage 2511 and the second passage 2512 of the guide passage 2510. In this expanded space 2520, the gate sensor 2005 is disposed immediately below the lower end of the guiding passage 2510, so the gaming ball released to the expanded space 2520 will pass through the gate sensor 2005 with extremely high probability. The game ball having passed through the gate sensor 2005 is discharged from the expansion space 2520 into the game area 5a below through the middle passage 2522.

  When the gaming ball which has entered the expansion space 2520 from the induction passage 2510 does not pass through the gate sensor 2005, the game from the expansion space 2520 is conducted through either the left or right passage 2521 or 2523 of the gate sensor 2005. It is released into the region 5a.

  The gaming ball that passes through the gate sensor 2005 and is discharged downward from the expansion space 2520 through the middle passage 2522 has a very high probability to the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 disposed directly below the lower end of the middle passage 2522 enter in. The gaming ball having entered the passage entrance 2311 flows down onto the second start opening door 2006 and rolls leftward along the upper surface of the second start opening door 2006. The outer peripheral upper surface of the second starting port passage 2310 is further rolled leftward from the left end, and discharged downward from the left end of the outer peripheral upper surface of the second starting port passage 2310. The game balls released from the left end of the outer peripheral upper surface of the second starting opening passage 2310 pass the front side of the big winning opening door 2007 closing the big winning opening 2004. Therefore, when the special winning opening door 2007 is in the open state, the special winning opening 2004 is accepted.

  In the present embodiment, when the gaming ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board, and when the lottery result is “normal hit”, the second starting opening door 2006 is for a predetermined time (for example, , For 0.3 to 3 seconds), and the second start port 2003 is opened. Therefore, when the game ball reaches the position of the second start opening door 2006 (the second start opening 2003) through the passage entrance 2311 at the timing when the second start opening door 2006 is retracted and opened, the game is performed. A ball is received in the second launch port 2003 (enters into the second launch port passage 2310).

  In this example, in the normal lottery, the probability that the “normal hit” is drawn is set high. Therefore, when the gaming ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it is received by the second start opening 2003 with a relatively high probability. When a game ball is received in the second start port 2003, a predetermined number (for example, one) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 830 through the main control board and the payout control board.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the game ball is hit so as to pass the right side of the center character 2500 (so-called, right-handed), the gate sensor 2005 is passed with extremely high probability and the gate sensor 2005 is If the normal lottery result that is drawn by passing the game ball is "normal hit", it can be accepted by the second start port 2003 with extremely high probability, so even beginners and players who are not familiar with the game can easily start the second start The game ball can be accepted in the mouth 2003, and the player can be entertained.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, as described above, since the player can easily make the second starting port 2003 receive the game ball by right-handling, the receiving to the second starting port 2003 (prize When the number of game balls to be paid out is increased, the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed is increased, and there is a possibility that the installation of the pachinko machine 1 may be overwhelmed. However, in the pachinko machine 1, since the number of gaming balls to be paid out by receiving the gaming balls to the second starting opening 2003 is one, the drawing of the special lottery result to be described later by the receiving to the second starting opening 2003 As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be installed without any problem.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate sensor 2005, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0.1 to 3 seconds, commonly referred to as fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5.

  If the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005 while the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005 and the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result can not be started. The start of the suggestion is put on hold until the suggestion of the previous ordinary lottery result is finished. In addition, the number of reserved normal lottery results has an upper limit of up to four, and more than that, even if the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it is discarded without being suspended. Thereby, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by the accumulation of the suspension.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming ball is received in the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2003, an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit", "middle") advantageous to the player on the main control board. A lottery of special lottery results is generated to generate "peri", "small perch", "per probability change", "per time reduction", etc.). Then, the selected special lottery result is suggested to the player for a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 360 seconds). In addition, in the special lottery result which is drawn by the game ball being accepted in the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2003, “loss”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “15R big hit”, “ There are probability change (probability change), "time reduction (time reduction) hit", "time change short", "time change no short", etc.

  In the case of the special lottery result for generating the advantageous gaming state, the special lottery result drawn by the reception of the game balls to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2003, the special winning opening door 2007 is a drawing in the attacker unit 2300 The opening and closing operation is performed in accordance with the opening and closing pattern according to the special lottery result that has been made, and it becomes possible to cause the big winning opening 2004 to receive the game ball. When the game ball is received in the big winning hole 2004 when the big winning hole 2004 is in the open state, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of gaming balls are taken from the payout device 830 by the main control board and the payout board. Is dispensed onto the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the special winning opening door 2007 is opening and closing in a predetermined pattern, by causing the large winning opening 2004 to accept the game balls, it is possible to pay out many game balls, and the player can be entertained. .

  In this embodiment, the first start opening 2002 and the first start opening 2002 are received until the special drawing result drawn from the start of the special drawing is suggested by the reception of the game balls to the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2003. Since the suggestion of the special lottery result can not be started when the game ball is accepted in the second starting opening 2003, the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn earlier is completed. Ru. The number of pending special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2003, and for more than that, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening Even if the game ball is accepted in 2003, the special lottery result is discarded without being suspended. Thereby, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by the accumulation of the suspension.

  The suggestion of the special lottery result is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In the function display unit 1400, the special control result is directly controlled by the main control board to give an indication of the special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 causes the plurality of LEDs to blink for a predetermined time repeatedly by turning on and off, and thereafter suggests the special lottery result by the combination of the lit LEDs.

  On the other hand, in the central liquid crystal display device 1500, based on the control signal from the main control board, it is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board, and the special lottery result is suggested as an effect image. The effect image that suggests the special lottery result on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is a pattern in which each symbol row is fluctuated and displayed in a variation state in which three symbol rows consisting of a plurality of symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. Each row of symbols is stopped and displayed so that the symbols of the three symbol rows which are stopped and displayed are sequentially displayed in a stopped manner in a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. If the special lottery result is other than "losing", after the three symbol rows are stopped and each symbol is stopped and displayed, a finalized image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500, and the lottery is made. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) corresponding to the special lottery result is generated.

  In addition, the time which suggests the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (flashing time of LED (variation time)) and the time which suggests the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (the symbol row fluctuates, and the finalized image The time until the is displayed is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a shorter time.

  Further, in the peripheral control board, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the left decorative body 2610 of the left effect unit 2600 is dropped according to the drawn special lottery result. A falling decoration 3106 of the rendering unit 3100, an upper decoration 3210 of the upper rendering unit 3200, an upper shutter 3310 and a lower shutter 3320 of the shutter rendering unit 3300, a right decoration 3410 of the right rendering unit 3400, a lower decoration of the lower rendering unit 3500 The movable effect is performed using 3510 and the like as appropriate. The movable effect can also entertain the player and can suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game.

  When the special lottery result is "small hit", the special winning opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened and closed for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds) The opening and closing pattern is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined winning time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the big winning opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened, or a predetermined high winning hole 2004 When any of the conditions (eg, 10 pieces of game ball acceptance) is satisfied, the open / close pattern (one open / close pattern is referred to as one round) for closing the big winning opening door 2007 is a predetermined number of times Repeat (predetermined number of rounds). For example, if "2R big hit" is repeated for two rounds, if "15R big hit" for 15 rounds, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player is generated repeatedly.

  In the "big hit", after the end of the big hit game, change the probability that "special hit" such as "big hit" will be drawn ("perhaps"), or change the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result There is a hit that you do ("time hit").

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as a special lottery result drawn by the reception of the game balls to the first start opening 2002 or the second start opening 2003, the special display on the function display unit 1400 or the central liquid crystal display device 1500 Even when the suggestion of the lottery result is finished, there is a "special jackpot" which does not generate the advantageous gaming state unless the detection of the gaming ball is made by the gate sensor 2005. When the “special jackpot” is drawn, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying a special effect image for suggesting the result of the special lottery. Then, when three symbol rows are stopped and displayed in the combination of symbols corresponding to "big hit (special big hit)" as a special lottery result in the center character 2500, the game ball of the entry detection sensor 2530 of the center character 2500 While the detection is effective, an effect image (for example, an image of an arrow pointing to the guide passage 2510) is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 for prompting the game ball to be hit into the guide passage 2510.

  In addition to the display of the effect image by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the player is prompted to hit the game ball into the guiding passage 2510, the light emitting decoration of the guiding passage 2510 from the rear side, the sound such as voice or music. It may be output.

  In the central liquid crystal display device 1500, when the effect image for prompting the player to hit (right) the game ball into the guide passage 2510 is displayed, the player makes a right hit and causes the game ball to enter the guide passage 2510, The game ball is detected by passing through the entry detection sensor 2530 disposed at the upper part of the guiding passage 2510. When the game ball is detected in the entry detection sensor 2530, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying an effect image reminding that the advantageous game state occurs when the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the gate sensor 2005, and it is possible to increase the expectation for the occurrence of the advantageous gaming state by making the game ball pounding or not depending on whether or not the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005.

  At this time, in the present embodiment, since the guiding passage 2510 is formed such that the distance through which the gaming ball circulates with respect to its height is long, the movement of the gaming ball flowing through the guiding passage 2510 is By making it possible to show the player surely and tracking the movement of the game balls circulating in the guiding passage 2510, the expectation for the game balls to pass through the downstream gate sensor 2005 is sufficiently enhanced. Thus, it is possible to entertain the player and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, in the central liquid crystal display device 1500, it is considered that a "big hit" is determined at the timing when the gaming ball enters (or passes through the gate sensor 2005) the extended space 2520 where the gate sensor 2005 is disposed from the induction passage 2510. Special images are displayed. This can further enhance the player's interest.

  In the middle of the second passage portion 2512 of the induction passage 2510, a second approach detection sensor for detecting the passage of the gaming ball is provided, and the above-mentioned special based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball by the second approach detection sensor It is desirable to correct the display timing of the image. As a result, the game ball flowing through the induction passage 2510 circulates faster or slower than a predetermined speed in the induction passage 2510, so that the timing when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, and the special It is possible to prevent the player from giving a sense of discomfort (a feeling of disappointing) because the timing at which the image is displayed is shifted, and it is possible to match the display timing of the special image with the passage timing of the game ball. People can be entertained.

  Then, when the gaming ball that has flowed through the guiding path 2510 and entered the expansion space 2520 passes through the gate sensor 2005, the special winning opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 starts the opening and closing operation in a predetermined pattern, which is advantageous for the player. An advantageous gaming state (special big hit game) occurs. As a result, the player can be greatly entertained, and a decrease in the player's interest in the game can be suppressed.

In the effect display control board, the special winning opening 2004 of the present embodiment corresponds to the variable winning opening of the present invention, and the gate sensor 2005 of the present embodiment corresponds to the passage detection sensor of the present invention. Further, the special lottery result in the present embodiment corresponds to the lottery result of the present invention.

[6. Characteristic effects of the present embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball hit in the upper part in the game area 5a by the operation of the player circulates (flows down) in the game area 5a and the first starting opening 2002 Alternatively, when the second start port 2003 is received, a special lottery result is drawn, and an effect image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 according to the drawn special lottery result. By displaying this effect image, it may be suggested that the special lottery result that the special winning opening 2004 of the attacker unit 2300 can accept can be suggested by the effect image, so whether the special winning opening 2004 can be accepted or not The player can enjoy the effect image while making the player harassing and pounding, and the player's expectation can be enhanced. Then, when a special lottery result (big hit) in which the big winning opening 2004 can be accepted is suggested by the effect image, the big winning opening door 2007 of the big winning opening 2004 to which the privilege is given is opened and closed in a predetermined pattern. Since it is possible to accept the game player, it is possible to allow the player to hit the game ball aiming at the big winning opening 2004 and also to give the player a pleasure by giving a bonus by receiving the game ball to the big winning opening 2004. Can be increased.

  Depending on the effect image displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 provides a notification (image) prompting the game ball to be driven into the gate sensor 2005 (induction passage 2510). Can pass through the gate sensor 2005, the game ball can be shot for aiming at the guiding passage 2510 provided on the upstream side of the gate sensor 2005.

  The guiding passage 2510 disposed on the upstream side of the gate sensor 2005 includes a first passage 2511 meandering to the left and right, a second passage 2512 extending vertically, a first passage 2511, and a second passage. It has a plurality of projections 2515 which protrude from mutually opposing surfaces of a pair of walls 2513 forming the front and rear walls of the portion 2512 and are alternately arranged in the flow direction. Thereby, in the guidance passage 2510, the gaming ball meanders left and right in the first first passage portion 2511 and flows up and down in the subsequent second passage portion 2512 according to the position where the gaming ball circulates It is possible to impart a change to the movement of the game ball, make it difficult for the player to get bored with the game ball whose movement changes, and enjoy the movement of the game ball and suppress the decrease in interest . When the game ball circulates through the induction passage 2510, the space S2 between the tips of the protrusions 2515 alternately protruding from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is greater than the outer diameter of the game ball Because the game balls move around the respective protrusions 2515, the game balls circulate in a zigzag direction in the guiding passage 2510 in the front-rear direction in which the pair of wall bodies 2513 are separated. Then, by setting the distance for guiding the gaming ball by the guiding passage 2510 to 1.5 to 3 times the height by these configurations, the game ball is driven into the guiding passage 2510 and then reaches the gate sensor 2005 Since the time of the game is longer than the height of the game, the movement of the game ball circulating in the induction passage 2510 can be surely shown to the player, and the movement of the game ball circulating in the induction passage 2510 is By chasing, it is possible to increase the expectation for the game ball to pass through the gate sensor 2005 on the downstream side, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Then, the gaming ball having circulated the induction passage 2510 enters the expanded space 2520 which is widely spread to the left and right where the gate sensor 2005 is disposed, so the gaming ball which has entered the expansion space 2520 from the induction passage 2510 is a gate sensor It will pass 2005 and will not pass. As a result, the gaming balls distributed in the guiding passage 2510 do not necessarily pass through the gate sensor 2005. Therefore, it is possible for the player to be harassing and pounding depending on whether the gaming balls distributed in the guiding passage 2510 pass through the gate sensor 2005 or not. It is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation.

  In addition, since the game ball does not necessarily pass through the gate sensor 2005 on the downstream side even if the game ball flows in the guide passage 2510, it can not be relieved even if the game ball is made to enter the guide passage 2510. While the entering game ball reaches the expansion space 2520, the player can be made to pay attention to the movement of the game ball, and the movement of the game ball flowing in the induction passage 2510 is surely shown to enjoy the movement of the game ball. Can not.

  Then, when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, the special winning opening door 2007 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern regardless of the completion of the special lottery result indication by the effect image, and an opportunity to receive many benefits is obtained. After the game ball hitting the gate sensor 2005, the game ball hitting the big winning opening 2004 can be hit, making it possible to continuously entertain the player, making it hard to get bored. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, after the notification by the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (notification means), when the game sensor is allowed to pass through the gate sensor 2005, the big winning opening 2004 becomes acceptable, so the arrival of a chance is notified by the central liquid crystal display device 1500. It can be suggested to the player, and the expectation of the player can be enhanced to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, in the guide passage 2510, the side close to the gate sensor 2005 is used as the second passage portion 2512 extending vertically, and the flow speed of the gaming ball can be gradually increased as the gate sensor 2005 is approached. The speed of the game ball can be made to be tight to make it feel tight so that the sense of expectation can be enhanced, and the player can be entertained and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, a plurality of protrusions 2516 are provided on the ceiling of the first passage 2511 that meanders in the induction passage 2510, and when the game ball dropped at the turn-back portion bounces to the ceiling at the bottom, it is provided on the ceiling Because the ball is in contact with the projecting portion 2516, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being reflected smoothly and to reflect the game ball directly under or upstream as compared with the case where the ceiling is a flat surface. , The circulation of the game ball can be delayed. Therefore, since the speed of the gaming ball flowing through the first passage portion 2511 can be reduced, the movement of the gaming ball can be easily seen, and the pachinko machine 1 capable of reliably achieving the above-described effects is realized. Can be
