​
Ventti is a money gambling minigame in My Winter Car, similar to blackjack - but it feels way less player-friendly (sometimes it can even give you an instant bust right from the start).
​
The Ventti dealer is Pigman (the guy from My Summer Car), now living in the nursing home near Pub Nappo.



Pigman’s room is at the far end of the hallway; the door is always open, but Pigman usually appears roughly between 22:00 and 08:00.
​
Warning: If he’s not there during that time, it’s likely a spawn bug - wait until the next in-game hour and he should spawn right in front of you.
​
Once he has spawned, he can keep playing even after 08:00 as long as you stay there (he stops only when you leave).

​

​
Like blackjack, you’re trying to hit exactly 21: you get 2 cards, their values add up (Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13).
Below 21, you can draw more cards or stop; above 21 you instantly lose.
After you stop, the dealer draws until he either beats your total or busts over 21.
​
How to play:

• Set your bet using the money stack on the left.
  
  
  
  
• Take cards from the deck on the right.
  
  
  
  
• To draw another card: click the deck on the right.
  
• To stop: click your cards in front of you.
  
  

Why it’s “unfair”:

• You can bust instantly from the starting hand (example: Jack + Queen = 23).
  
• Dealer doesn’t “soft stop” at 17/18 like normal blackjack—he draws until he wins or busts, which reduces your odds.

​
Main idea: Build the max bet to 4000 mk, then save-scum: win twice (8000 mk), Pigman flips the table, save, repeat; if you lose, reload.

Play on the minimum bet (50 mk) until the maximum bet reaches 4000 (or higher).
Yes, over a long run you might lose some money during this phase - don’t panic if you drop 1-2k, you’ll print it back later.

Once max bet is 4000, do this:

1. Go to Pub Nappo and save (it’s the closest practical save point you can reach on foot).
   
2. Walk to Pigman and play Ventti on the max bet: 4000 mk.
   
3. If you lose: reload immediately.
   
4. If you win enough (usually two big wins = 8000 mk total), Pigman will rage and flip the table, and you won’t be able to play again until you reload.
   
5. After a successful “table flip” session, walk back to Nappo, save, and repeat.

With decent patience, you can repeat this 3-4 times in one night and walk away with up to ~40,000 mk.

​
Now you can ignore “official jobs” and just buy what you need (parts, fuel, etc.) without turning the game into a 9-to-5 simulator.

​
I personally recommend stopping at 16 or more (it felt like the most stable compromise), but you can adjust if you prefer riskier play.

Losing increases stress a lot, so bring cigarettes or spam swearing (key N) to reduce stress; also bring a beer case and optionally some food.
​
Also, if the max bet ever goes above 4000, it always resets back to 4000 after saving - so 4000 is basically the “cap” you can farm.
​
Extra: There’s still an option to gamble for car/house keys (a leftover from the old MSC Pigman setup), but in My Winter Car it doesn’t really make sense to risk it—so this guide doesn’t use it.
