Java actionPerformed not working

I'm trying to make a small Blackjack game with a GUI for school. Here's the code:

import java.awt.*; 
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Gui extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

private JButton bBet;
private JLabel lblPointsPL;
private Blackjack bj;

public Gui() {

    Blackjack bj = new Blackjack();

    bBet = new JButton("Bet!");
    bBet.setBounds(10, 60, 200, 35);
    bBet.setForeground(Color.black);
    bBet.setBackground(Color.yellow);
    this.add(bBet);

    lblPointsPL = new JLabel("PointsPL");
    lblPointsPL.setBounds(300, 50, 200, 35);
    this.add(lblPointsPL);

    lblPointsPL.setText("test1");

}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {

    Blackjack bj = new Blackjack();

    if (event.getSource() == bBet) {
        lblPointsPL.setText("test2");
    }

}

}

If I press the bBet Button, it should change the text to "test2" but that doesn't work. The first change to "test1" is working.

You've forget to add action listener to your button.

bBet = new JButton("Bet!");
bBet.setBounds(10, 60, 200, 35);
bBet.setForeground(Color.black);
bBet.setBackground(Color.yellow);
this.add(bBet);
bBet.addActionListener(this); // missing statement.
