Constructor Error I cant find

Hi I have a header file, implementation file & a main file for a blackjack game but I am getting a compiler error & I cant for the life of me figure out what is wrong with the program. The compiler says that the error occurs in the implementation file where the constructor is defined (line 14): Error is: "New type may not be defined in a return type. Return type specification for constructor invalid."
