Nokia | San Francisco, CA, March 8, 2005 -- Nokia, together with Gamica, today announced that Lucky Ranch Tycoon, the world's first mobile connected tycoon game, is under development for Java handsets utilizing the Nokia SNAP Mobile solution.

In Lucky Ranch Tycoon, the mobile gamer's goal is to become the most successful ranch owner in Lucky Town. Competing against other ranch owners, players will be impressed by the richness of features, including horse training, multiplayer races and gambling, in-game chatting, a wide array of rankings, and much more.
