Mary,
People with more expertise will probably respond but here are some that I keep on a cheat sheet. The higher the "V" variance number the more volatile. I don't remember whether the Variances came from Wizard of Odds or another site and the numbers may be off a little or rounded but I use them to help me play low Variance games.

Jacks or Better          V=19.5
Bonus                      V=20.9
Bonus Deluxe           V=32.1
Deuces Wild             V=25.8
Deuces Wild Bonus   V=32.6
Double Bonus          V=28.3
Double Double        V=41.9
Joker (Kings)            V= 26.3
Royal Aces Bonus     V=181.8
Super Aces              V=63.4
Super Double           V=37.9
Super Dbl Dbl          V=50.5
Triple Dbl Bonus      V=98.3
White Hot Aces        V=44.3

Man----I have to admit I'm a little surprised at some of the differences (variance).
