Here is my simple solution with Python:

def score(dice):
    dice_count = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

    sum = 0

    for point in dice:
        dice_count[point-1] += 1

    while dice_count[0] >= 3:
        sum += 1000
        dice_count[0] -= 3
    if dice_count[0] <= 2 and dice_count != 0:
        sum += 100 * dice_count[0]
    if dice_count[1] >= 3:
        sum += 200
    else:
        sum += 0
    if dice_count[2] >= 3:
        sum += 300
    else:
        sum += 0
    if dice_count[3] >= 3:
        sum += 400
    else:
        sum += 0
    while dice_count[4] >= 3:
        sum += 500
        dice_count[4] -= 3
    if dice_count[4] <= 2 and dice_count[4] != 0:
        sum += 50 * dice_count[4]
    if dice_count[5] >= 3:
        sum += 600
    else:
        sum += 0

    return sum
