JC Rubio hosted live from Ainsworth's exhibit at G2E 2026 in Las Vegas, where Ainsworth Game Technology unveiled PLAYBOY ELITE on the new Raptor 65" cabinet.
The gaming industry's biggest stage came to Las Vegas once again as JC Rubio, a bilingual Las Vegas corporate event emcee and on-camera host based in Las Vegas, served as host and emcee for Ainsworth Game Technology's showcase of PLAYBOY ELITE™ at Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2026, held September 29 through October 1 at The Venetian Expo.
At the center of Ainsworth's exhibit, Rubio guided attendees through one of the most talked-about launches of the show: the official debut of PLAYBOY ELITE, the flagship title of Ainsworth's G2E 2026 lineup. The launch event, held September 29 at 11 a.m., featured the first pull on the Raptor 65", with Rubio bringing his signature energy to the floor as attendees got their first look at the Playboy-branded multigame experience.
As a high-energy Las Vegas corporate event emcee and on-camera host, Rubio turns expo exhibits and product launches into full-scale live moments. His role at G2E 2026 blended brand storytelling with show-floor spectacle — keeping the crowd engaged, spotlighting the product, and giving Ainsworth's partnership with Playboy the launch atmosphere it deserved.
"An expo floor is one of the hardest rooms to hold — the energy has to cut through all the noise," JC shared. "When a launch like PLAYBOY ELITE has that kind of star power behind it, my job is to make sure every person walking by feels like they just walked into the main event."
The Ainsworth x Playboy partnership carried beyond the launch, with Playmates and Bunnies on hand for meet-and-greets on September 29 and 30, and a photo booth running from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. both days — with visitors taking home a digital souvenir from the experience.
From the G2E 2026 show floor, Rubio's hosting gave Ainsworth's showcase the polish of a live broadcast — lights up, crowd locked in, and a brand launch that felt like a Vegas-sized main event.
