Class Controller

java.lang.Object
controller.Controller
public class Controller extends Object

The Controller class is responsible for handling most of the game logic for a Blackjack game.

It creates a new instance of the Dealer and Player classes, initializes the deck with a new shuffled and populated Deck object, and keeps track of the bet and balance of the player. It also keeps track of game statistics using a Statistics object.
