Put Immersive Roulette next to a standard Evolution live table and the paytables are identical. The difference is entirely in presentation and pace, and pace is money. Here is the comparison on the things that actually differ.
Odds and payouts
| Immersive | Standard live | |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel | 37 pockets | 37 pockets |
| Straight-up | 35:1 | 35:1 |
| House edge | 2.70% | 2.70% |
| La Partage | no | no (unless a French table) |
| Multipliers | none | none |
No difference. A bet on 17 or on red costs the same on both.
Pace and cost per hour
| Spins per hour | £5 on red, through the table | Expected loss per hour | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Immersive, replay on | ~55 | £275 | £7.43 |
| Immersive, replay off | ~70 | £350 | £9.45 |
| Standard live | ~80 | £400 | £10.80 |
| Speed table | ~140 | £700 | £18.90 |
The slower table is the cheaper hour. This is the one practical argument for Immersive beyond the pictures: it makes a session last longer for the same money.

Minimums
Immersive's floor is often a little higher than the plain tables at the same operator, 50p to £1 against 20p to 50p, and occasionally higher. If the minimum matters, Immersive Lite or a standard table from the same studio will have a lower one.
Atmosphere
Immersive: cinematic, close-ups, replay, a dealer who has time to talk. Standard: functional, a fixed angle, a quicker rhythm. Which is better is a matter of taste; neither affects the result.
When Immersive is the better buy
When you bet numbers and want 35:1 (both tables give it, but Immersive is the one people compare with multiplier tables and choose for this reason). When you want a longer session at a given stake. When watching the ball is part of the pleasure.
When the standard table is
When you want a lower minimum. When the replay feels like dead time. When you play short sessions and pace does not add up to much.
What neither gives you
Anything but 2.70%. For a cheaper even-money bet, a French table with La Partage at 1.35% beats both, and some studios run a live La Partage table. For multipliers, a different kind of table at a different price. Immersive and standard are the same game at two speeds; choose the speed.

Short answers
Is Immersive Roulette more expensive than normal roulette?
Per spin, no: identical payouts and 2.70% edge. Per hour, it is cheaper, because it runs fewer spins. At £5 on red, about £8 an hour against £10 to £12 on a standard live table.
Why are Immersive minimums sometimes higher?
Production cost and positioning. A multi-camera table with slow-motion replay costs more to run, and operators often set its floor a little above the plain tables. Immersive Lite usually comes in lower.
