In theory if you follow the instructions from the link Stephcake provided, It could work on Ubuntu or any distro, I tried on Slackware 14.2 32-bit, and after downloading the required version from: https://www.winehq.org/announce/1.7.55 and installing it using tools/wineinstall it worked even without winetricks, but I recommend you follow all the steps, remember wineskin is only for Mac.
The only issue I found so far is that you need to minimize and maximize your client window on each loading screen otherwise it will only show the loading image.
PD: I think you need to download kernel dev or something similar to be able to compile (make, Install, configure) wine. or maybe you could try searching for a .deb/.apt for the 1.7.55 version but since Ubuntu is an up to date distro It could not have the required old libs in order to run.
